KUMOGAKURE GATEWAY

The Kumogakure Gateway, more commonly known as The Divide of Kumogakure, is a wide natural walkway which serves as the formal entrance into the Hidden Cloud. Originally the remains of an ancient river system which dried up centuries ago, it has been refitted and improved to guide citizens and visitors through the mountain passes. The entrance and surrounding outposts are under constant guard by patrolling sentries and hidden traps and have a direct line of communication to the village. Entry and exit is through a 15x20 doorway which is steeped by mountains on either side. [Death-Enabled]

The news of provocation and war down on the seas south of Kaminari no Kuni filtered into the village and to the Raikage's ear. First there was the great appearance of light in the Land of Rice, and now, war had broken out between Konohagakure and Kirigakure. The period of peace which had covered their continent seemed to be waning, and it wasn't in his best interest to sit idle. He had never been the passive-type anyway. 

Reaching for his communication device, the phone-line curled in the Raikage's grip as he held the transceiver to his mouth. "Inact Protocol B. I want increased man-power and patrols at the village entrance and exit points." 

Two guards stationed at Kumogakure's gate would receive his orders, each jumping in their seat as their leaders voice barreled down the line. They seldom received orders directly from The Sandaime, and with that knowledge knew it to be important. 

"Ai, Sir. We'll initiate Protocol B now."

Shuffling in their chairs over the wooden floor towards a table, they would order the movement of more guards to the gate and scouts into the surrounding area. The region would be on alert until given the order to subside.
